And Now She's Four

So two days ago, we threw a sweet party for my little girl who was almost four years old.

Today, she is four years old.  As of 6 o'clock on the dot this morning.


We started the day with our tradition of birthday donuts.

We are so happy to have Chris' mom, step-dad, and brother visiting us for the weekend.  It kind of took away the bummed-out-ness of not having Leah's daddy here to celebrate her birthday.


Since Leah's birthday falls on a Sunday this year, she was so excited that she got to see her friends at church in the morning and her friends at Awana in the evening.  She was sure to wear her "birthday girl" pin so that everyone knew.  She got a lot of "Happy Birthdays" today.

And instead of another birthday cake, we celebrated with yummy strawberry shortcake, using the strawberries we had left from our strawberry picking adventure a few days ago.

And Grandma Johnson also had a birthday this month, so she got to celebrate with a candle in her strawberry shortcake as well.




She opened a few more presents from family...



A pink snake?  Yes.  She's been asking for one every since she first saw one a friend has at her house.  She finds it every time we go there so I figured one would get use at our house too.

She loved this Disney Princess story player also.  Now she can sit there and listen to it on the headphones while her brothers are going crazy around her.  :o)

The kids also had a great time in the pool with Grandpa during their visit.  They love when he comes because he throws them in the pool so many times.  I know his arms must be sore after lifting these guys a few dozen times.




Leah was happy to watch from the side of the pool.





We love when family comes to visit, and especially when it's for a special day like Leah's birthday.
